Objective: This study aimed to determine how prevalent allergic rhinitis (AR) is in Turkey and to compare the current prevalence with the figures obtained 10 years earlier.
Methods: This study included 9,017 participants. The minimum number of participants required from each center was determined via a stratified sampling technique according to regional...
Objective: Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic administered parenterally for moderate to severe gram-negative infections. Ototoxicity is an important side effect that limits gentamicin use. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of rutin on gentamicin-induced ototoxicity in rats biochemically and histopathologically.

Objective: The retrograde flow of gastric contents to the upper aerodigestive tract is known as laryngopharyngeal reflux disease (LPRD). It is also known as extraesophageal reflux disease and is a common condition seen in otolaryngology practice. Diagnosis of LPRD is difficult as the patients present with vague and indistinct symptoms. Reflux symptom index (RSI) is a 9-item que...
Objective: To determine the imaging features of extranodal head and neck lymphoma (EHNL) and their influence on prognosis.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and imaging findings of patients who received a diagnosis of EHNL from January 2010 to September 2018. We documented their demographic characteristics and clinical, biochemical...
Objective: Contrast-enhanced temporal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard for differential diagnosis of retrocochlear pathologies. Nowadays, with the improvement of MRI devices and new imaging modalities, we have very detailed images of the cerebellopontine angle. In this study, we calculated the additional cost of contrast-enhanced MRI and questioned that if ...
Objective: Aspirin intolerance (AI) is one of the endotypes of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) that can be effectively treated if detected early. Considering the limitations of the available tests for AI, there is still a need for an affordable, cost-effective, and safe marker that can enhance AI’s early detection. In the past years, the association between AI and eosinophilic inf...
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between septum deviation and sleeping position in patients with nasal septum deviation.
Methods: The study included 25 patients with nasal septum deviation on the right side, 25 patients with septum deviation on the left side, and 25 patients without septum deviation as the contr...
Objective: The Covid-19 pandemic continues to threaten the whole world. Early diagnosis of patients is very important to prevent the spread of the virus. Sudden loss of taste and smell is a common early symptom in patients. Therefore, it is thought that revealing the pathogenesis of the symptom will help both in early diagnosis and in predicting the prognosis.
M...
Objective: Investigations show that nasal septum deviation changes the paranasal sinus volume on the deviation side and affects the middle ear pressure. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the degree of nasal septum deviation and the pneumatization degree of the mastoid bone air cell system.
Methods: This retrospective study evaluate...
Objective: Systemic inflammatory markers are investigated in many solid cancers, including laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelet counts, and red cell distribution width (RDW) are thought to predict survival in patients with cancer.
Methods: Patients included in the study had a diagnosis of laryngeal squamous cell carcinom...
Ranula is defined as a swelling on the floor of the mouth, and its etiology is unclear. Aspects of etiopathogenesis, origin, and management remain debatable. The rationale of our study was to eliminate the discrepancies pertaining to the etiopathogenesis and management of ranula. Our objective was to determine the etiopathogenesis of ranula by systematically reviewing the available literature a...
Foreign body ingestion is not an uncommon encounter in adults, especially denture ingestion in the elderly. Dentures usually studded with wires can be categorized among sharp, irregularly shaped, and impacted foreign bodies, which necessitates their urgent removal considering their capability of triggering fatal complications if left unattended. Aerosolization procedures, especially in patients...
